This silo bag with dimensions of 39cm x 58cm and an empty weight of 450 g. is filled with a special granulate and is simply activated by contact with water. Ideal flood protection in the event of flooding caused by heavy rain or high water. As an alternative to sandbags, the system is ready for use in less than 5 minutes and weighs only 10% of a regular sandbag!&nbsp; And the best part: You can have the hydrosacks activated by the flowing water or activate them yourself with water. They last for several months after activation and are reusable! Thanks to the granules, the bag fills up to 20kg in just a few minutes. The Hydrosack can also be safely composted on the compost. Contains environmentally friendly and easy to dispose of cellulose and super absorbent polymer that is environmentally friendly and degradable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hydrosack as a sandbag alternative is the effective and modern method of flood protection for commercial and residential buildings such as entrances and basements or garage doors. The polymer in the hydrosack swells up to 20 kg as soon as it comes into contact with water. The flood protection is used like a silo sandbag, making it an ideal sandbag alternative for longer distances. Unused hydrosacks have a shelf life of 6 years. Used hydrosacks have a shelf life of several months and are therefore reusable (approx. 4 months).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Product Information:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Label: DX-20A<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flood protection for patio doors, garage entrances, house entrances, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Label: Hydro-Sack alternative to sand<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Durability: Unused hydrosacks have a shelf life of 6 years.
